  // Perform a method (GET, POST, PUT) on a URL using the curl(1) program.
  // Throw process_error and io_error (both derive from system_error) in case
  // of errors.
  //
  // The I (in) and O (out) can be of the following types/values:
  //
  // nullfd   Signal that no input/output is expected.
  //
  // path     Read input/write output from/to a file. If the special "-"
  //          value is used, then instead input is connected to the curl::out
  //          ofdstream member and output -- to the curl::in ifdstream member.
  //          Note that the argument type should be path, not string (i.e.,
  //          pass path("-")).
  //
  // other    Forwarded as is to process_start(). Normally either int or
  //          auto_fd.
  //
  // For example:
  //
  //   curl (nullfd,     // No input expected for GET.
  //         path ("-"), // Write response to curl::in.
  //         2,
  //         curl::get,
  //         "http://example.org");
  //
  //   curl (path ("-"),         // Read request from curl::out.
  //         path::temp_path (), // Write result to a file.
  //         2,
  //         curl::post,
  //         "http://example.org");
  //
  //   curl (nullfd,
  //         fdnull (), // Write result to /dev/null.
  //         2,
  //         curl::get,
  //         "tftp://localhost/foo");
  //
  // Typical usage:
  //
  // try
  // {
  //   curl c (nullfd,                 // No input expected.
  //           path ("-"),             // Output to curl::in.
  //           2,                      // Diagnostics to stderr.
  //           curl::get,              // GET method.
  //           "https://example.org",
  //           "-A", "foobot/1.2.3");  // Additional curl(1) options.
  //
  //   for (string s; getline (c.in, s); )
  //     cout << s << endl;
  //
  //   c.in.close ();
  //
  //   if (!c.wait ())
  //     ... // curl returned non-zero status.
  // }
  // catch (const std::system_error& e)
  // {
  //   cerr << "curl error: " << e << endl;
  // }
  //
  // Notes:
  //
  // 1. If opened, in/out streams are in the binary mode.
  //
  // 2. If opened, in/out must be explicitly closed before calling wait().
  //
  // 3. Only binary data HTTP POST is currently supported (the --data-binary
  //    curl option).
